Pneumatic Circuit
The first step in building a modular circuit is designing the Specifications for the R-315 modular valve
pneumatic circuit using ANSI symbols.

Components for Modular Circuit
Next, you need to gather the required
components. Typically, the modular portion
of a circuit consists of modular valves,
Push Button subplates, mounting strips, 1/16” and 1/8”
PC-5E-BK fittings, 1/16” and 1/8” hose, and the main air
supply connect fitting.

Mounting Strip and Subplate Assembly
The next step is assembling the mounting
strips (R-102) and subplates (R-101).
